From the reviews
POOL FAIL! This is a nice, upscale club with pretty much everything you need to train. However, if you are a minimally competent swimmer and intend to use this facility to do swim training... DO NOT JOIN.
I own the dental office right next door and have been postponing joining since the gym opened. What has been holding me back? Cost. I kept thinking - why spend so much when I can pay a third of that at LA Fitness.
After being a member at a different gym for 13 years. I wanted to make a change to help myself grow. I did my research and found FFC in Elmhurst and after being a member for a few weeks. I love that I decided to become a member here.
This gym is spectacular! I’m an avid gym goer and I’ve had a difficult time finding a clean gym where I feel comfortable working out. FFC (especially the Elmhurst location) has done just that. I recently had a training session with a new trainer Mark and he kicked my butt!
